Most of them failed to look at the larger picture.You pulled from a specific rather than addressing the whole, you drew up fictions, you attacked spelling rather than the point, you claimed 'it doesn't matter anyway and those never make sense', and so on.BTW: trade routes do make sense - look at history and the availability of resources. The laws of supply and demand... Migration is shaped by like patterns. Take even a 50-mile out scratch at the atmosphere floating over the surface of sociology, anthropology, history, and political science and you can see this in blatant detail.NONE of the geographical features on the FR map follow even the most basic of rules, not just one desert. Kalamar's timeline IS fixed - that's an official policy of the line. They add detail or past, but not future -no metaplot.I can go on, but what's the point? FR breaks down at every angle. I've found nothing about FR that makes it a good setting. It's about as bad as they can possibly be built. It's only survived under the weight of novels, TSR branding, iconic NPCs, and the art. As well actually, the fact that many people just don't care about these things.That may be because no publisher has ever dones a setting right, so we just don't know how people would react if they did, or again maybe most people really just don't care. The few that come close to being well done have never been -presented- well (short burst easy to digest blocks of writing, graphics, art, fiction lines, and branding), so they can't compete in the eye candy department.They are still flaws for they are incorrectly built. Many just either choose to ignore them or don't care.7+7 does not equal 15. I may not care that it doesn't equal 15, but that doesn't make me listing it as 15 anything but an error.</blockquote>
